During the planning phases of a chemical plant, a great number of domain-specific data models are created, all of which influence one another. Marking these models consistent with each other in process industry environments usually still involves a large amount of manual work. This article proposes an approach to reach data consistency over the whole plant life cycle automatically, with a prospect...
Most Cyber Physical Production Systems (CPPS) research is devoted to the manufacturing industry, but the need for flexibility is an increasing trend in the process industry, too. Today's process automation systems (PAS) are not well-suited for quick adaptation of the plant, i.e. the addition, removal or change of physical components, such as filters, mixers, or reaction units. The authors have developed...
Production plants within manufacturing and process industries are becoming more and more complex systems. For a safe and demand sufficient production the automation system of a production plant is mission critical. Therefore the correct functioning and engineering of the automation system is essential. Nowadays the use of a virtual commissioning step before deploying the automation software on the...
Today simulation is playing an important role at multiple steps within the life-cycle of a process plant. For the future it is expected that simulation will be integrated in the plant life-cycle and the backbone of an integrated engineering process. To simulate the different aspects of a plant multiple domains are necessary. Usually each domain requires specific simulation capabilities, thus multiple...
The integration of package units in a SCADA or DCS involves considerable manual effort. Various aspects of automation such as faceplates, states of sequences or interlocks have to be reproduced for the visualization and management of the package unit in the master control system. The integration effort can be reduced using existing technologies, which could also be extended to a modular plug-and-produce...
This paper presents a study of the potential of integrated services for app-based system diagnosis using mobile information systems. First, a task and context analysis is provided for the application of integrated system diagnosis in the context of plant asset management (PAM). Second, exemplary scenarios are presented which demonstrate IT services for system analysis based on self-organizing maps,...
